This year’s Fire & Ice Festival - Lights, Camera Action was held Jan. 27-29, featuring events throughout the Quiet Resorts of Bethany Beach, Ocean View, Millville, Fenwick Island, and inland to Frankford and Dagsboro.
Sponsored by the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce, this year’s event included dozens of ice sculptures, demonstrations, bonfires, an ice rink, food and drink tastings, and music.
Bethany Beach Ocean Suites hosted a best drink competition, Millville Volunteer Fire Co. a chili cook-off and Fenwick Shores a benefit for the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays. Clayton Theatre in Dagsboro featured matinees of the movies “Ice Age” and “Towering Inferno.” Several restaurants took part in the festival’s tasting tour, offering signature festival-themed cocktails and food specials.
